Abstract
The technology of evaluation and short-term forecast of fire risk on the basis of weather conditions, developed in V. N. Sukachev Forest Institute, is described. The factor of fire risk in each pixel of the screen is calculated on the basis of information presented as multispectral digital images obtained distantly from satellites of the NOAA POES (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Polar Operational Environmental Satellites, USA) series. The map depicting the distribution of fire risk classes over the territory of East Siberia is published daily.
